Outback Wilderness Off-Road And Overlanding Joshua Tree National park
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- After the first test of our Subaru outback wilderness in the rocks of Joshua Tree National Park, it was time for us to take it up a notch and hook up the trailer for a day of off-roading and overlanding through Joshua Tree. As we started to make our descent into the canyon everything seemed to be straightforward. After about 5 miles is when things started to become stressful and the washboard road turned to 24" ledges. With the promise of making it to camp before dark starting to slip away, I knew we had to find a suitable spot to call home for the night. This trail would have been a breeze without the trailer, but the trailer changed everything!

I 'm glad you and the fam kept pushing on. It's inspiring seeing someone from Ohio all the way out in Joshua Tree! Hopefully the OBW is growing on you. I don't own one yet, but it ticks all the boxes. Also crazy to see y'all pulling a trailer with it off-road :)
We appreciate it! It’s been a wild adventure so far!
Gotta say it's good to see you pushing the OB. Nobody else has or is taking their OB as hard as you 2 are. Good to see Courtney didn't bury you & the trailer in the 🏜️ desert YET. There are some amazing campgrounds in Joshua. Thanks for taking us along & showing how surprisingly amazing the OB is.
Don't forget to check the oil.
Thanks for the comment and as of today I'm still above ground, but that could change in an instant! I'm going out now to check the oil!
Your wife is an excellent driver, and you are driving this car far more than what I am potentially going to use my OBW. I do feel that your shakedown trip with this vehicle carries with it a jeep centric view as a comparator, and that's ok as it help defines what this vehicle can and can't do. Every vehicle is it's own unique tool. For what you folks get into a lift kit and a rear diff locker may be just the ticket. I do love your content, and your understanding of how important it is to take weather and safety into your driving calculations.
She really is and she said thank you! We definitely put the OBW to the test, but we did that intentionally to really see what it can do and push it far beyond what other people probably will. I agree with the lift and locker idea and have put that on a list of possible modifications. Thanks again for the kind words and comment!
Thanks for taking the time to share your adventures.
That Outback is absolutely gorgeous! What a beautiful family you’ve got there. Take it easy!
Thank you very much, sir!
seeing it get up pretty effortlessly in that section around 10mins with the trailer was awesome! hell yeah dude.
The OBW is getting it done! Thanks for the comment!
The more and more I see your rig the more I’m digging it. I really like the trailer as well, killer value for money spent. Your definitely putting the Sub through the Josh stress test lol
Lololol it’s definitely getting beat on and I think it’s the Courtney stress test because she’s the one that’s been banging it off the rocks!
Your baby is as happy our Sofi.
Nice to see a video of the wilderness hitting its peak capabilities and keeping on like a mountain goat. Love the channel man!
Lololol thank you!
This is too much like working …
ie a JOB… all the triggers for
‘losing it’ - BUT you guys did it
for US - !
Beautiful drone footage, challenging Real time Learning lessons documented with your new OBW over landing set up.
It wasn’t easy but much appreciated… you’ve gained admiration from your followers,(many OBWs owners or plans in future - my November ordered OBW Delivered last week).
Your extensive Jeep experience
offer the perfect platform to critique Subaru outback Wilderness…
Congratulations to the three of you for surviving your first trip with the mostly unknown.
Thank you for watching and the gracious comment! We hope you enjoyed viewing the trip through our lens and can't wait to share more of our experiences with you!
I am peanut butter and JEALOUS :) Awesome footage as usual.
Thank you!
Joshua Tree looks like a blast. We've hiked there in the springtime, but now I want to take my wife and our Wilderness there. I love that your whole family is involved as well, by the time they get to be teens they tend to drift away a bit!
You guys should definitely do it! I’m trying to soak up all these little moments with them while I can force them to do what I say 😂😂
I’m getting a 2018 Outback this month. I’m so excited to start taking it out on trails. This Wilderness model is so sweet and seems to perform really well for being a lifted wagon lol. The Out ack is such a unique vehicle.
Lolol it’s pretty crazy what a wagon can do. I’m pretty impressed with it so far! Good luck with yours and have fun!
I know it might not be as capable as you would like but it looks great doing what it can do. No matter what you're seeing beautiful stuff and spending good time together.
I completely agree! Thanks, Travis!
I dig your trailer, but I woulda prob opted for rooftop tent. Tough with all your gear tho
The bigger the family the larger the loadout. Thanks for the comment!
That little girl is going to be running the show before not too long lol
😂🤦🏻♂️ tell me about it!
Thanks for the video .. I want to do that track .. I have a 2021 Crosstrek Sport ‘Wilderness’ .. lifted 2” .. skid plate .. Toyo All Terrain III’s .. roof rack, etc. Been to Death Valley 3 times and Moab once .. so far it’s done everything my other rig has done. I did the Crosstrek as it’s just me and it’s about 500 lbs lighter and 15” shorter then the Outback. My son just put money down on a 2022 Wilderness! 🤠
Awesome stuff!
Every time I watch one of your videos your hair looks totally different and it startles me every time. Ha! Great video!
😂 it’s always doing it’s own thing
I want so bad to head west with mine. So far just been stuck exploring WV on the weekends.
Better than nothing I can promise you that!
Nice place to I would ask how the Outback is doing but like I said before I got a 2002 so I know yours is doing great, weather looks great how did the Outback do on gas on the Highway with the Trailer me and the are planning the same trip in about a month hopefully, takes some videos on the way home so us viewers can see how fun the drive is lol good luck with the rest of the trip remember stay safe and Overland safely!!!!
You guys will have a blast! Outback did ok on gas mileage with the trailer!
Another fun, engaging and occasionally unnerving video. I have one request for possible future content, please. I'd love to know a little bit more about your wife's and your history as campers and outdoors-people. How experienced are you? I remember from a previous video that you mentioned your father-in-law was an outdoorsman, so I'm guessing your wife loves the out-of-doors as well.
I'm ready to be buy in! Share a little more background and you'll have me forever!
😂😂 awesome to know! We will definitely put something together for everyone and greatly appreciate the input!
Great video! Actually, a LOT of your videos are great!
Just have a couple of questions: Was the Outback lifted at the time this video was made?
I know you put a 2" AT suspension kit from Ironman, and was just wondering. It looks like you have the LP Adventure wheels with (I think) a +20 offset. Did that cause any issues with the fenders rubbing on the tires if the suspension wasn't in place?
Hey, morris! Appreciate the kind words! The outback was not lifted at the time of this video. I went with the +38 offset and had zero rubbing before lifting it.
I was wondering how well an Outback Wilderness would do pulling a tear drop. I have been pulling the trailer with my older Land Cruiser but considering the Wilderness as a replacement. Wasn’t sure if it was up to the job.
It does the job, but getting to more remote locations with the trailer is not an easy task. I think with rear overload springs and a torque locker you would be in much better shape.
Hey Josh, I love your videos and am considering buying an Outback Wilderness myself. I may have missed it, but do you have a Subaru stock hitch or an after market one? If an after market one, why did you go with that vs. the Subaru one?
we went with the factory subaru hitch and had the dealer install it. The factory hitch has been great, I would recommend getting a 7 pin harness installed that supports trailer brakes because the dealer installs a 4 pin that doesn't support trailer brakes.
@@roamingwithjosh Excellent! Thanks for the quick reply. Keep up the great vids and be safe!
Thank you!
Definitely like the Outback Wilderness in white, debating selling my 1 month old Outback premium for one lol
Lololol it’s a sweet looking rig in white for sure! Thanks for the comment!
What roof rack system are you using?
Load bars - amzn.to/35EHGb5
Feet for load bars - amzn.to/3C1ydqt
I've been considering a similar set up. Does the OBW tow easily on road? Off road?
On road for sure, off-road is a little sketchy, but doable.
Dude, we should meet up next time we may cross paths. We have an almost exact setup. ‘21 Outback Touring XT with a teardrop, wife and 2 year old daughter.
Just followed you on IG. Down in phoenix for a couple more days then headed to Moab.
@@roamingwithjosh Oh rad! We live in Prescott, Arizona. We were in SoCal for about three weeks. Got some stuff to take care with our business then we will likely be back on the road somewhere. We were thinking about maybe Moab, but a little chilly. We are trying to escape the cold hah
All good, dude! We will link up at some point. I want to take the wilderness up there and see what she’s really made of. I’ll shoot you an IG message.
Have you guys thought about getting a truck to tow?
We have a 22 ram power wagon in addition to the Outback wilderness.
My thoughts...
First I think that you are going to need a lift with much stiffer springs... This would help prevent that rear end from squatting so much witch is certainly impacting departure and breakover, both of which are already a major limiting factor with the Outback Wilderness. This is also impacting traction on the front due to the amount of lift... lack of weight on the front end from the trailer.
Second I think that you need a much lighter trailer... At 2,000 lbs you are within 1,500 lbs of the max towing ability of the Outback Wilderness. Even on pavement you are looking at an ideal max of around 2,800 lbs... off road I would put the max tow weight around 1,750 lbs or less and that is not taking into account cabin cargo weight. The Outback Wilderness just does not have the gearing, power, and traction to pull that kind of weight off road. Really the OBW is better suited for a roof top tent...
I agree with the springs and lift. I wanted to see what this thing could do before I put anything into it in terms of suspension and lift and honestly it does really well.
The trailer is a bit heavy, but definitely manageable if you watch your step and travel with intention. Knowing the trail and keeping in mind it’s limitations make for a good day of overlanding. We have a couple rooftop tents at home, but I really wanted to see just how far we can push it and I think we’ve surpassed it’s limit. Thanks for the input and suggestions!
@@roamingwithjosh I have recently been looking at tear drops, but weight has been a major factor for me. Recently I have been thinking about getting a lightweight trailer and than attaching a rooftop tent to it. I am not really too sure what I am going to do...lol.. May end up just sticking with my Gazelle tent for now.
We love our tents, but having an enclosed place for our daughter was a line in the sand my wife drew so we have had to make it work. As she gets older I can see us transitioning back to just our RTT.
@@roamingwithjosh yeah that is very understandable.
My current struggle is that I have a 60lb Siberian Husky... So getting him in a roof top tent would be a significant challenge and while temperatures in the winter time are not an issue summer time will be a problem. So I am trying to figure out a solution that will allow both me and my dog to still be able to camp in the summer. Oh and I live in the South East.. so basically having access to AC is a most. A tear drop with AC would be the obvious choice, but given the cost I could just stay in hotels and cabins in the summer. Some have had success it appears using a portable AC unit in there tent... so I think that I am going to give that a try this summer. We will see..
Great video, had my heart racing there in a couple spots! I've ordered the Wilderness and due to videos that ive seen, including your own, I'll be upgrading the tires to the specs on your vehicle, i wanted to confirm that you do not have a lift to ensure that I'm not rubbing. Also, if no full lift or spacer is necessary would you recommend leveling the front? thanks in advance!
Congrats on the OBW and that is for watching! We do not have a lift, but you will need new wheels with the proper offset to allow room for the larger tires. I don’t see the need to level out the front, but I would recommend some rear overload springs if you intend on loading it up and taking off with a bunch of gear.
Thanks for sharing your videos and the valuable information about your Outback Wilderness. About your trailer set up, does your teardrop have trailer brakes and are you using a 7 pin connection? I believe that's necessary in order to control brakes on a trailer. We have an Aeroteardrop trailer with trailer brakes and are strongly considering purchasing the Outback Wilderness in the coming weeks. Thanks
No problem at all, I’m glad they’ve been helpful! The car comes with a 4 pin, I had to add a 7 pin. I’m not even sure the dealer will install a 7 pin, but it’s worth the ask.
Does it rev like crazy on the highway with the trailer?
No it really doesn’t at all. I was surprised by that.
@@roamingwithjosh Thanks! I just put in an order for an OBW this morning. Looking forward to hitting the trails. Looking like a late March arrival as of now.
Right on!
where is the Geopro, sold?
One of our friends bought it from us.
Nice man! Did you guys move to California?
Not yet, but we’re trending for a move west sooner rather than later.
zero info about the trailer?
What info do you want?
Wirdeness in the Outback version of the turbo with CVT TR690 rides very badly, he will not be able to drive uphill, his reverse gear goes very badly because of the TR690. Forester Wildeness 2.5 with CVT580 drives uphill and reverse gear ratio is good as first gear!!!
Thanks for the info
Glad to see you push the OBW to its limits but after watching your channel since you got it, I don’t think the Wildly suits your needs based on your comments.
I’m trying to see where this vehicle fits in to the way we like to travel. We shall see how it shakes out. Thanks for the comment!
@@roamingwithjosh I really hope you didn’t take my comment the wrong way, I didn’t mean any disrespect and my apologies if it came across that way. You have a Damn fine channel sir👊🏼
Not at all, dude! Thank you!
Was that Berdoo Canyon ?
Nope, Pinkham canyon.
@@roamingwithjosh great video!
Thank you
No worries!
Should buy a truck
I have one…
You better get a Tacoma and leave that Subaru for mall crawling back tires about to rub the fenders 😂😂 that like putting a 14 ft aluminum v bottom boat in a bass tournament with a bass cat jaguar boat.
LOLOLOL Trust me I know!
If he needs to get another rig get a Jeep game over leave the Tacoma for hauling manure...Lol
